One look at Pam Pam and you can instantly see she’s a natural-born model. Those intense, striking eyes against that fluffy, pure white fur— it’s simply out of this world!
Interestingly, kittens are always born with blue eyes— which is actually just a lack of melanin. Their true color develops between 7 and 12 weeks of age. You should be warned, however, that once a cat reaches full maturity, its eye color should never change. If your cat’s eyes change color after 12 weeks, it can be indicative of a serious problem, and you are advised to immediately consult a vet.
Pam Pam’s owner immediately made the dazzling feline her very own Instagram account— where she now boasts more than 119,000 admirers!
The pictures on Pam Pam’s Instagram page show the gorgeous kitty in a variety of scenarios and poses. There’s also many adorable videos of the fluffy feline playing with her toys and getting into mischief. If the page is any indication, Pam Pam’s owner seems to love dressing the kitty up in adorable outfits and accessories.
With the right genes, any breed of cat can develop heterochromia, but some breeds are naturally more likely to have it. The condition isn’t exclusive to cats though; other humans and animals can also be affected. In general, pure white animals (including pure white cats like Pam Pam) are the most likely to acquire heterochromia.
We’ve actually written about other kitties with heterochromia in the past. Late last month, I reported on Iriss and Abyss, two “eye-catching” feline sisters from Russia.
Like Pam Pam, they have been mesmerizing online communities with their gorgeous heterochromatic eyes— and quite frankly, I think their photo speaks for itself. Read more about them here.
Now, there’s only one Pam Pam— but there’s no denying that she’s cute enough for two!
There are two different types of heterochromia. Pam Pam has ‘complete heterochromia’, meaning her eyes are two different colors entirely— but there’s also ‘sectoral heterochromia’.
Since heterochromia is the result of a genetic mutation, cats can actually be bred to inherit these amazing, otherworldly peepers— and, as Cat World notes, the condition is completely harmless and requires zero medical care.
Pam Pam is a beauty, although her pictures don’t do her justice. Her gorgeous eyes look like little, stained-glass windows, and it’s impossible to ever get enough!
